The President tackles critical race theory and the 1619 Project on Constitution Day [KT]

jeffersoncher.jpg

Well, I tried to end our little series on the NYT's announcement last year that they would be focusing their news coverage on racism, partly by featuring the 1619 Project. But now the President has brought it up again. Thanks to J.J. Sefton for the next two links:

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced the creation of a "1776 Commission" to fight the growth of far-left revisionist history such as the 1619 Project.

"The legacy of 1776 will never be erased," Trump said in a speech at the National Archives building to celebrate Constitution Day.

The "1776 Commission" will promote patriotic education in America's schools and oppose reductionist partisan historical narratives.

The president's speech was the sharpest criticism to date of critical race theory in education and media.

"Whether it is the mob on the street or the cancel culture in the board room, the goal is the same," Trump said. "To silence dissent, to scare you out of speaking the truth and to bully Americans into abandoning their values, their heritage, and their very way of life."

Then there's this:

As an example of Critical Race Theory in practice, Trump cited a recent digital pamphlet from the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The document, which has since been changed, "alleged that concepts such as hard work, rational thinking, and the nuclear family and belief in God were not values that unite all Americans, but were instead aspects of whiteness," said the president. . .

"This is offensive and outrageous to Americans of every ethnicity," Trump continued, adding: "It is especially harmful to children of minority backgrounds who should be uplifted, not disparaged. Teaching this horrible doctrine is a form of child abuse in the truest sense of those words."

Compare the above to this from the AP, which I used to think was a news wire service.

President Donald Trump intensified efforts to appeal to his core base of white voters on Thursday by downplaying the historical legacy of slavery in the United States and blasting efforts to address systemic racism as divisive.

The "reporters" suggest that only the President is divisive. There seems to have been no controversy surrounding the 1619 Project. And the Project and related educational materials were not meant to rewrite history, according to the Times. Though it isn't clear from the context of the AP's reporting why they added that bit of information. Heh.

I guess VDH is right: News has been replaced by unnews.

The 1619 Project vs. 1776 Unites

The President's comments came the day after "1776 Unites", a project started by Black Americans concerned about the destructiveness of the 1619 Project, announced the availability of their first three lessons for high school students. The lessons will relate the stories of successful Black Americans and others who overcame obstacles utilizing American principles. The earlier "1776 Unites" essays, available on the same website, are also valuable. For adults, too.

Our Previous Posts triggered by the NYT's August Racism Meeting, in reverse chronological order:

August 1, 2020 Tom Cotton vs. the NYT's 1619 Project. Proposal to end federal funding for educational programs based on "the project". Pulitzer Prize winner Nikole Hannah-Jones' Twitter feed produced a lot of justification for keeping these materials out of schools. In June, she even endorsed the riots and the toppling of the Founders' statues as a product of the 1619 Project.

Interesting anti-slavery writings by Thomas Jefferson, certainly not taught by the 1619 Project Educational Materials.

I tried to end our series of posts here, before the President's Constitution Day remarks revived it.

May 30, 2020 The New York Times gets what it wants: riots

Also, a reminder that Black Americans began a "1776 Initiative" in September of last year. Now it's "1776 Unites". Essay by Shelby Steele discussed. Things were discouraging for many Black Americans after the assassination of MLK. You may recognize some figures he discusses in this segment from his book.

What has changed in Los Angeles since the riots in 1992?

May 9, 2020 The New York Times, Racism and a Pullet Surprise:

Soon after the New York Times had to admit that the "1619 Project", AKA the "Hate America Project", was historically inaccurate, it won a Pulitzer Prize!

This led to some other historical examinations, including examinations of past Pulitzer Prizes (remember Duranty?) and even of the institution of the Pulitzer Prize itself. Have a good laugh about Joseph Pulitzer.

March 7, 2020: Is this the end of journalism? A member of the NYT Editorial Board, Mara Gay, who pushed the 1619 project has done some other really, really embarrassing things in the media. Has this kind of recklessness affected the quality of media more generally? Was that first remarkable on-air disaster with Brian Williams related to the NYT staff decision in August to always look for an ideological angle, rather than, say, to check your facts?

More critiques of the 1619 Project pour in. Other history which has been ignored lately is described.

January 18, 2020: Media Racism Update, contrasting the efforts of the Democrats to paint themselves as champions of the Constitution with the attacks on the Constitution in the NYT's 1619 Project. More on the 1619 Project's historical errors. Similarity to the communist goal of destroying memory.

Plus an interesting suggestion that it should be illegal to vote for Trump because he is racism personified. Uh-huh.

November 2, 2019: What would Frederick Douglass think? The 1619 Project wasn't much interested in Douglass. Reviews of the 1619 Project.

Also, Race-based lunacy in education NOT based in the 1619 Project. Western medicine is colonialism. Discussion of racial preferences in government.

September 28,2019: September Racism and Slavery Update, with analyses of the emerging, ahistorical 1619 Project. Note: Captain John Smith was once a slave.

Plus an effort to pin a racism charge on a Trump appointee. And media stories start to be re-written to emphasize racism. The 1776 Initiative is launched by a group of prominent Black Americans to counter the divisiveness of the 1619 Project. There are some interesting essays in this series. One participant, Shelby Steele, has been notably present on TV since then, too.

August 31, 2019: Dean Baquet's emergency meeting with his radical staff at the New York Times. This was where the editorial decision to focus on Donald Trump's racism was articulated. Oh. And then there was the 1619 Project.

Note: Heading was changed to reflect the President's Constitution Day remarks, and the NYT's point of view in the AP report was clarified.

Trump continued, adding: "It is especially harmful to children of
minority backgrounds who should be uplifted, not disparaged. Teaching
this horrible doctrine is a form of child abuse in the truest sense of

One of the saddest stories I ever heard was from a young AA coworker. She had moved her family back from the 'burbs to the hood because her daughter was getting mocked by other young black children as being "too white"...because she was good at her schoolwork.
So the social pressure made her downwardly mobile.

20 LOL, I was just called 'mean and nasty' because I posted the truth about Ginsburg on F Book.

I won't remain silent, while the Left tries to make a Saint out of her. Half our problems are because the Right remained silent out of 'being nice'.

Same with this 1619 crap. It should have been loudly ridiculed from the very outset, not taken seriously.

Posted by: Romeo13 at September 19, 2020 11:57 AM (NgKpN)

21 "Critical Race Theory" sounds so very scientific. Critical theory is simply to criticize everything you don't like in terms of, in this case, race. Race has nothing to do with it, none of your proposals have anything to do with race, nor would they solve the problem you reference.

They slapped a high-falutin' label on acting like a four-year-old.

24 There's a part of me that realizes a lot of this has to do with the fact that Trump was somewhat handcuffed by the Russia nonsense, but I can't help but notice he sure does seem to be ratcheting up the fight against the cultural left.

Something that might have been helpful, to have this level of commitment to it earlier in his presidency.

25 There's sort of a porn aspect to racial guilt. Some people just want to wallow in it. I remember doing some of that when I was a teen. "Roots" was a thing in those days, with a book and TV series.

Nowadays, I just want everyone to be happy and healthy, and racial guilt is a mental illness that interferes with happiness and healthiness.

28 From Ethereal News:

HEAVEN (9/19/2020 Earth Time) -- A spokesman for St. Peter says that former United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will not be admitted to heaven. He refused to be more specific, saying only, "There are problems with her record."

Former U.S. presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan has volunteered to speak for Ginsburg, saying, "She is entitled to representation." As he is the only lawyer currently in all of Heaven, he is the logical choice.

Satan, Jehovah's brother, has offered sanctuary without conditions to Ginsburg.

Ginsburg herself declined to comment on either matter.

****

HELL (9/24/2020 Earth Time) -- For the third straight day negotiations continue between Satan, Minister of Hell, and former United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Sources say no break in the deadlock appears to be forthcoming.

"Stubborn," Satan told aides before heading back down to the Ninth Circle. "It's stubborn. I admire that in a mortal. But there's a limit."

Satan, brother to renowned deity Jehovah, has made it clear that his offer to Ginsburg of no-conditions sanctuary in Hell does not include any role in the administration or even judiciary of Hell.

"I've come too far," Ginsburg said when reached for comment. "I appreciate Satan's offer. I really do. But I am not your everyday ordinary person. I don't think a ministerial position is too much to ask."

Sources say Ginsburg has also demanded a tenure in perpetuity and the right to veto future ministerial appointments.

"Not going to happen," Beelzebub, Satan's second-in-command, told Ethereal News. "Just who does this mortal think it is?"

Earlier this week, Ginsburg was denied entry to Heaven by St. Peter. She refused an offer by William Jennings Bryan, the only lawyer in Heaven, to speak on her behalf. On that, Ginsburg has refused to comment.

When we went to DC in '17, we watched fireworks at the foot of the Washington Mem, and everyone was jazzed about Trump. We went to every significant museum there, except the AA. You had to have reservations to get in, and we spent the entire day at the Holocaust Museum. When I saw the AA building, I was very happy we triaged it. It's absolutely atrocious architecture. Ugliest building in DC.

I think that might be the argument for keeping it going... for now. That to toss out the federal department would be to leave the damage where it is, with no means of a centralized battle plan.

I'm not sure I agree with that, but I suspect that's what is going on, as opposed to there being too much Deep Stating going on in the DOE.

I think I'm going to refuse to participate in this scrum, but the one thing we're learning, especially in 2020, is that the left is already at war, so whatever threats they make at this point are fairly moot.

Yes, you're going to lose your shite if Trump does this, or if he does that. We know already. So how's about we go ahead and do what we're going to do, you go ahead and lose your shite, and we see what happens. M'kay?

The threats that they're going to lose their shite shouldn't be stopping anybody anymore.

54 VDH's article is nice, but it still has a base of believing the news was ever about "just" the news.
It was not.

"The greatest lie the media ever told is that it was objective."
You can go back to 1838 and James Fenimore Cooper's "The American Democrat" and find the same denunciations of media bias as are being made today. You can go to the election of 1800 and find insults directed at Adams and Jefferson that are the same as today.

The media was never about merely presenting the news and letting people decide. As much as people want to believe that ideal, they must recognize the media as the biased, usually corporate, even mega-corporate, political product that it is, always was, and always will be.
The media is proud that it has "grown up" and no longer has to pay lip service to "telling both sides of the story". It is long past time people "grow up" and accept that.

This is why I think people like Kim Klacik and Candace Owens are more important than most white male cultural warriors. Not because of tokenism, not because they help insulate against claims of racism, but because black people, especially little girls, need role models they can relate to, showing them there's another way.

Shift their pantifa squads from Portland and Seattle to Austin and KC? When you are already looting and burning anyway how does the threat carry any weight?

Brother made sure he stayed married while they were growing up. Sent them to good school, raised them in Suburbia. Made them do their homework and go to church.

Both are very successful adults now.

Then, about 5 years ago, his eyes started to open.

...

The Mormons get into this territory because they do not accept an orthodox view of the Trinity.

They take Jesus as the literal son of God. It's Arianism. JW's do the same thing.

And since Jesus is therefore a created being it opens the door to him being "brother" to other created beings.

They fight the idea that they actually consider Satan and Jesus to be brothers but it's a logical conclusion of their stance on Jesus as a being literally fathered by God, as is Satan (per them, not orthodox belief--Satan is created but not as offspring).

If they're saying that the federal government has no authority to meddle in education at all, that the Dept of Educ is an obscene violation of the 10thA, okay. I agree.

But given the anti-Constitutional leviathan that our federal government has become, Trump damned well has the POWER to promote any program he likes, provided that the funds are there. Common Core, anyone?

132 "moved her family back from the 'burbs to the hood because her
daughter was getting mocked by other young black children as being "too
white"...because she was good at her schoolwork.
So the social pressure made her downwardly mobile."

A guy that was in local management with a Big corporation told me they had hired a black woman to work in town (Quincy, IL, 44,000, maybe 5% black) ... and she was basically confronted by the local "black community" (not sure how that happened exactly) ... but she was made to feel uncomfortable for mixing too much with "others" ... like ... we blacks are our own thing. I think they had to move her eventually ... or she decided to move maybe, because of that.


There are definitely elements like that ... I think certain powers like their little race based kingdom ... they think it is their gang, and they punish those that move out and up. (as they attack every successful black that goes Republican)


BLM is a violent/terrorist extension of that ... anti-American and racist, but Dems seem desperate to retain the black vote at any cost, and think this will work.

My theory on all of this is that we now have a vocal population of a cognitively challenged generation who are only capable of thinking in terms of a univariant equation with binary results.

That is, there is only one variable in their equation and it always yields one of two distinct possible outcomes.

Trump should be prevented from doing what president's do.

Doesn't matter if an appointment happens now, or six months from now. Their univarient equation doesn't account for anything in that if Trump does X, then riots must happen.

No nuance. No conditions. No exceptions.

Logoa is a Latina from Miami and an originalist. Trump put her on the 11th Circuit and Barrett on the 7th so not only does he like them they have both been through Senate confirmation recently.

Reason says the president has no power to endorse a 1776 project.

Technically they're right, and I agree, but until the Department of Education is eliminated and the federal spending on public schools is ended, then he has the power to do this. Is it constitutional? No. But its nearly impossible to do anything about that right now, and probably ever.

I think someone says up above it's from a Heinlan novel. Sci-fi authors get weird with religion. Asimov's smug vindictive short-story about the Christmas star being a doomsday event for another civilization or Niven's Inferno which I rather like. Well I'd probably put Dante in there along with Milton. Makes a good framework for fiction I guess. Universally known archetypes, stories and characters.

That was me. I expect Heinlein did it that way so he could posit that Jehovah and Satan have known each other closely from the very beginning of time, and to give the original bet involving Job a kind of sense in human terms. You can imagine one brother betting another that the first brother's dog is faster or smarter or more loyal than another, and the other brother going, "You got a bet!"

It's a little harder to see it (again, in human terms) if it's Jehovah and a guy who used to work for him who's now set himself up in a competing business.

Excerpt:

we are dismayed at some of the factual errors I the project and the closed process behind it.

These errors, which concern major events, cannot be described as interpretation or "framing." They are matters of verifiable fact, which are the foundation of both honest scholarship and honest journalism. They suggest a displacement of historical understanding by ideology. Dismissal of objections on racial grounds -- that they are the objections of only "white historians" -- has affirmed that displacement.

Here's another presidential candidate:

"We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection US Supreme Court justices."

It's not just that the Beltway/fedgov have become unimaginably excessively powerful in everyone's daily life - even worse, enormous influence over that federal power has now been largely sub-contracted out to the unelected branch, designed to be vastly the junior and inferior branch in actually running federal affairs.

The entire constitutional system has always hinged on division of power, with most power vested in the accountable branches. That formula is now kaput.

A key aspect of the constitutional system is just gone, so gone that only people on the fringes even recall or know about it now.

Biden will be engaging in no political activities today.



I guess the stress of having to be woken up at 9 PM, to deliver the

I think it's pretty clear that they don't decide whether Biden will be seen publicly on any given day until they assess his condition that morning.

I think it is the same strategy as the International Left attacking South Africa and Israel instead of China or the USSR on human rights.

They were small, and cared what people thought of them, and might have been amenable to pressure.

Trump actually is reasonable and has shown a willingness to negotiate, as opposed to the Dems who are so much worse in dogma and deed. And like the USSR and China, may well put an on-target nuisance down like a sick dog.

true ... but "Hispanic" (Cuban, Mexican, Spanish, whatever) ... is really a rather distinct grouping, at least for the first couple generations after they move To Amereeeca. If the left keeps going crazy left, they could become a strong(er) conservative block, imo.


Over time, we do need to win them ... but really, all minorities should turn away from the BLM/Antifa left ... since they are going violent commie crazy. Trump was winning that argument, with record low unemployment, till they Plandemicked us.


Makes me wonder what the BLM thing has done for/to the "White Hispanic" voter. Do Brown Lives Matter? or is that sacrilege for Dems to say that? La Raza is still a thing I guess, but not in any headlines, just BLM Love. BLM may be turning "white Hispanics" into Trump voters?

393 Remember, senators can vote "Present" instead of yes or no. Murkowski may do that or McConnell may just buy her off again.

A candidate like Barrett is a no-go, not enough votes (she is too easily framed as an extremist) and she is too leftish on things like immigration. Collins and Gardner couldn't vote for a Barrett (just to name two) couldn't vote for a Barrett without losing their elections in Nov.

Ideal would be a Hispanic Clarence Thomas, preferably under 45 years old. I also like Ken Lee (9th Circuit, Rooftop Korean), but I imagine it will probably be a woman.

-----------
McConnell has the votes. There are 53 Republicans, only Murkoski has said she won't vote.

The 3 squishes are her, Collins, and Romney. Even if all 3 vote now, the nominee will pass. But I don't think Romney has the balls to vote no on a qualified candidate.

Most importantly, none of them can stop McConnell from calling a vote. All they can do is vote no, which in Collins case is a guarantee she loses her election.

None of this addresses the possibility of Manchin and Sinema voting yes.

She's not up until 2022. She got 77% of the vote in her most recent GOP primary in 2016, & she won the GE easily, with a 44% plurality-- (the DEM candidate got 11%, IIIRC).

That assumes she even intends to run again. She'll be about 70.

As for McConnell "punishing" her? How much was she "punished" for voting against Kavanaugh? McConnell can't "punish" members of his caucus, because he always has to think about next time.

418 Murkowski isn't persuadable so much as is she is buyable. If McConnell offers enough incentive (usually pork for AK), she'll vote yes as long as the nominee isn't seen as too "anti-woman" (aka, Barrett).

One of the worst kept secrets in DC is that Collins coordinates every vote with McConnell with an eye to keeping the ME Senate seat. She isn't the renegade closet Dem she gets portrayed as.

Lindsey got boo'ed by a friendly audience when he said he wouldn't confirm 4 years ago. That was also pre-Kavenaugh. Lindsey has an election this year. He will support McConnell and the nominee.

Romney may vote no out of spite. UT will go heavily for Trump though, so if he does, he is setting his career on fire. At any rate, we can afford a defection or two.

Unless there is some radical surprise (hey, it is 2020!) or a terrible nominee, McConnell will almost certainly get the votes, and we will get the seat.

I disagree. We all know Graham is, flexible, but he was righteously pissed off and how Kavanaugh was treated and even said something like "All you want is power and I hope you never get it.". He started changing his tune this summer about what he would do.

McConnell and Trump spoke last night and McConnell assured Trump his nominee would get a floor vote. I doubt this is the first time they have gamed this out and Cocaine Mitch knows how many votes he has.

The stakes have changed because Democrats have changed them. If they take back the Senate and win the Presidency they are already talking about making DC and PR states which would effectively given them the Senate and Presidency for the foreseeable future. House too for that matter. They are going to end the filibuster meaning they will do whatever they want and they will appoint the new SCJ.

That's why they're wargaming for a military coup if Trump doesn't submit to the vote fraud, rather than focusing on which states Harris needs to campaign in.

521 Skip, some very ugly street action in your area (Phila). Just the usual idiotic thuggery from "antifa" low-lifes.

Looks like a terrible waste of nice fall weather, too.

527 Luckily not in city, suburbia hasn't been hit much, one night it started not far from me but that doesn't fly out here much. Businesses have more pull is my guess.

529 If they can bully you into apologizing for being white, they can bully you into wearing a mask. If they can bully you into wearing a mask, there's no limit to what they can bully you into doing.

533 "Reason says the president has no power to endorse a 1776 project."

Reagan says the president does:

"Finally, there is a great tradition of warnings in Presidential farewells, and I've got one that's been on my mind for some time. But oddly enough, it starts with one of the things I'm proudest of in the past 8 years: the resurgence of national pride that I called the new patriotism. This national feeling is good, but it won't count for much, and it won't last unless it's grounded in thoughtfulness and knowledge.

An informed patriotism is what we want. And are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world? Those of us who are over 35 or so years of age grew up in a different America. We were taught, very directly, what it means to be an American. And we absorbed, almost in the air, a love of country and an appreciation of its institutions. If you didn't get these things from your family, you got them from the neighborhood, from the father down the street who fought in Korea or the family who lost someone at Anzio. Or you could get a sense of patriotism from school. And if all else failed, you could get a sense of patriotism from the popular culture. The movies celebrated democratic values and implicitly reinforced the idea that America was special. TV was like that, too, through the mid-sixties.

But now, we're about to enter the nineties, and some things have changed. Younger parents aren't sure that an unambivalent appreciation of America is the right thing to teach modern children. And as for those who create the popular culture, well-grounded patriotism is no longer the style. Our spirit is back, but we haven't reinstitutionalized it. We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom--freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It's fragile; it needs protection.

So, we've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion but what's important--why the Pilgrims came here, who Jimmy Doolittle was, and what those 30 seconds over Tokyo meant. You know, 4 years ago on the 40th anniversary of D-Day, I read a letter from a young woman writing to her late father, who'd fought on Omaha Beach. Her name was Lisa Zanatta Henn, and she said, "We will always remember, we will never forget what the boys of Normandy did." Well, let's help her keep her word. If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are. I'm warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit. Let's start with some basics: more attention to American history and a greater emphasis on civic ritual.

And let me offer lesson number one about America: All great change in America begins at the dinner table. So, tomorrow night in the kitchen, I hope the talking begins. And children, if your parents haven't been teaching you what it means to be an American, let 'em know and nail 'em on it. That would be a very American thing to do."--Farewell Address, 1989
